• Facilitate data gathering and issue/incident update meetings with Client teams, contractors, and Oracle representatives.
• Collaborate across stakeholder groups to ensure timely, accurate, and consistent reporting.
• Support development, documentation, and application of processes, procedures, and standards across assigned products/projects.
• Coordinate with stakeholders to ensure compliance with established processes.
• Organize, review, and conduct quality control assessments of incident data repositories.
• Identify risks and escalate issues requiring resolution.
• Evaluate existing incident response processes and recommend improvements to enhance accuracy and efficiency.

• Background working with federal agencies, contractors, or large‑scale system deployments

Work Environment
• Position is based in Washington, DC, with a remote/hybrid work structure.
• Travel up to 25 percent may be required to support stakeholder engagements or operational activities.
• On‑site presence is not routinely required (0 percent).
